an innate conscience, one that has always been there, given to us by God... many do believe this, as its such a powerful tool, it concludes our morality, and therefore only somebody with omnipotence could be capable of creating this :D

I disagree with the above answer. Whether conscience is innate or not has nothing to do with its having been "given to us by God" or even with the existence of God. An innate and/or learned conscience could just as well be the result of our having evolved as social animals who have to follow certain principles, some of which are relative to a particular society, in order to survive and flourish.

The development of conscience is a complex interplay between genetic predispositions and environmental influences. While some aspects of conscience may have a genetic basis, experiences and socialization play a significant role in shaping an individual's moral compass. It is believed that both nature and nurture contribute to the formation of conscience.

How is habitual conscience different from actual conscience?

I'm aware of innate (your word actual) conscience, or our innate goodness. I'm not aware of "habitual" conscience. But if I may infer, since you use the word habitual, then it implies conditioning; school, church, political, social, cultural, regional,friends, nationality, and all our acquired biases. Therefore; Habitual conscience is only a reaction to whatever stimulus we are experiencing at the present moment. While innate conscience is the real us, devoid of dualism, prejudices, preferences, affiliations, etc.
